My home town.

into the Dog Pound

Good luck. This is the Browns year. Of course, I say that around this time every year.

You lost me with repeated use of the "F" word.

if not our lives, but the important thing is my Sailor speak.

not a shooting war between teams. I am a Seattle Seahawks fan and would never throw any object at a San Francisco player.

That sounds very evolved. Not.

Gonna be a hell of a season.

'cause this pre-season has sucked.

Nothing to add except one more middle finger for chuckle. He contributes nothing to the conversation.

funny how theater goers aren't considered the heart of America.

at a Broadway pla...err... nevermind

all over the country versus Broadway shows in the city.

vs 8 per play and virtually every city has a performing arts center which has several showings per week. To use NC as an example. One NFL game per week with Raleigh, Charlotte, Durham having broadway tour shows several times weekly.

glued to the televised NFL games. Now if art center showings and concerts and plays were televised AND get as big followers as NFL games, you make a very good point.

But the reality on the ground is many more people love football than they love performing arts. But again I have not done a research of numbers, but just making an educated guess.

When Seahawks won superbowl a few tears back, downtown Seattle had so many people watching the parade of players, it took me 30 minutes to walk 2 blocks. Wall to wall crowds of people.

Same with working class Americans, blue collar Americans and a myriad of other monikers.

They're no more 'heartland' than the people in the drive through at McDonalds.

.... divide the country,.. drive in wedges and accentuate hatreds,.. create conflict where none existed before.

As election 2018 approaches and then 2020,.. trDump will tear this country apart to get just what he wants.

Fasten your seat-belts and affix your crash helmets,... we are in for a very nasty and bumpy ride while this Nazi is in the people's White House.

that's a bit of a strange thing to say.

ONCE. And he left at halftime of the game because the Pack were losing. Typical MAGA jackass... no loyalty.

Let's see how successful any sports league would be without major metropolitan areas in blue states. They'd be out of business in a day.

in Blue cities doesn't have a 1000 protesters outside their studios and offices passing out lists of their advertisers.

Kill Hate Radio and the Retrumplican party dies.

Trump also whines about the press saying things he doesn't like. Threatening violence if you don't get your way. Politics really is a circle.

Also given that Cleveland fans only leaned Democratic by about 5 points, just under the average of NFL fan lean, perhaps you might not find as many people eager to throw out somebody wearing a MAGA hat as you think.

I live in a hellhole of about 80% repukes. Ever since that thing in the White House failed in its duty to stand up for the 1st Amendment rights of Colin Kaepernik, the magats around here have proclaimed NFL to stand for "Not For Long".

If Chuck 'Toadie' Todd thinks NFL stadiums are filled with MAGAts, I'd like to see real numbers or else I'll consider it just more fishing for viewers.

The tv networks still seem, to me, to be trying to emulate Fox: toss anything out there that will stir up viewers. I don't watch tv 'news' programs; their advertisers do not profit from me.

gone so low-brow? My guess is that potential Republican guests don't like smart people.

Speaking as a Seahawks season ticket holder I've never seen someone wear a MAGA hat at a game.
